Market
The global shift to decarbonisation is driving a swift uptake of renewable energy generation. Renewable energy, such as wind and solar is intermittent and often doesn’t align with market demand requirements. The Australian Energy Market Operator’s 2022 Integrated System Plan urges significant investment in new flexible, dispatchable capacity to support growth in renewable energy as the thermal fleet retires.
